Riser concepts for Mexican deepwater production systems ///

INTEC Engineering has performed, in the past, studies for potential production system concepts to be employed in Mexican deep water in the Gulf of Mexico. More recently, the author was invited to give a presentation on “Deepwater production systems: Innovation, technology and future developments in Mexico,” in a workshop organized as part of the Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE), June 2003, Cancun, Mexico. The title of that presentation was “Review of riser systems for future Mexican deepwater developments.” This article is based on the research carried out for that presentation.
